Steve,
I disagree with that assumption. The problem is that not enough people are willing to wait for it to go up that high. IThe onlty thing I support is not working for $3. My average shop for this company before these last four jobs was $16.96 per. These jobs bumped it up to $23.03 per. What I am supporting is my family and bill collectors. If people are not willing to wait for higher prices with full knowledge that they will get higher, then I am not to blame. I don't support a sliding scale system, I use it to my advantage. I have only been a mystery shopper for 8 months. The system was already in place when I got here. I've read all of the posts on this company, many before I started in this business and many are singing the same tune......They start their shop at too low a price. Well, you self assign all of these jobs, so you don't have to sign up for them. To me it is as simple as that. I can't make this company start these jobs at a higher price and they can't make me accept them. So we are even. Time is on my side not theirs. They got to get them done to stay in business. I'm going to do the shops for them or another company after they lose the contract. I take advantage of the situation, not let the situation take advantage of me.
